    Passing skills on is always a good plan. I might be a little blessed on the coating, brother in law has a powder coat facility at the office, but I am not entirely sure the max size it can take! Having said that the plastic coat ontop would make is super resilient :-)

    Thanks guys, some nice ideas there for me to look at. The G4 are nice but that's a lot of bending. Maybe if I make one I could potentially sell some, looks like they are pretty tough to find. Did find this image on the forum, looks nicely done and the back had some rubber supports which is a...

    Roof rack

    Thanks Guys, I think making my own will be the way to go. I agree the current bars are not sufficient support for a full rack and would look odd. teddywood1 do you have a pic f your bespoke rack and how it's mounted to the roof? Did you have to add additional mount points to the rear?

    Freelander 1 TD4 remap

    Cheers Andy. Being a bit of a novice on this I am open to suggestions. Typically those are currently out of stock. I've looking into local LR specialist in bournemouth, they use these guys to remap and currently offering it at £249 which sounds like a fair price...
